Part time Cafe

We are looking for a strong person to join our team of
creative people at The Make Café. The ideal candidate should have previous cafe
experience with Barista experience preferable but not essential. They also need
to show the ability to work well and efficiently under pressure in this customer facing role.

This is a part time position to cover busy lunch periods,
Tues – Friday and a full afternoon shift every Saturday.

It is a knit fabric which has stretch to it and is great for leggings, t-shirts and dresses.

If you haven't sewed it before then can I suggest that you start by reading these tips. Sewing with knits is not difficult, but it is definitely a different technique and a few small tips (such as using the right needle and stitch) can make it significantly easier.

If you're looking for some inspiration what to sew with jersey knits, I've got three suggestions for you"

I have not made a flashback skinny tee myself, but I have heard rave reviews from those who have! Its a really clear pattern with lots of instructions. The only note of caution to add is that this really is a skinny tee, so if in doubt, make a bigger size!

Finally, jersey knit is perfect for making girls leggings. You could easily use the same method to make pyjama bottoms if you prefer. A quick and easy project!

So what do you think? Are you brave enough to give sewing with jersey knit a try?
